Subject:   Intel ICH5 UDMA100 controller TIMEOUT - READ_DMA
Message-ID:  <4644A5C6.4BB0BAD@mauibuilt.com>

I am working with a new IBM XSeries 226 server.

It worked fine with the original 80 gig drives.

Upon replacing them with 2 new Hitichi 500 gig drives I get DMA timouts
at random times while using the on board Intel SATA controller.

I put a Promice SATA controller in the machine and everything works
great.


Has anyone heard of a problem with Intel controllers?


Thanks in advance

Here is the info from dmesg and atacontrol;
